Major General Battle, commander of the armored corps of the independent division, observed the situation on the battlefield and found a problem, according to the attack speed of the fourth and sixth brigades of the second attack wave, the battle at the breakthrough point, at this time, the breakthrough should be widened to about five kilometers, but the attack position of the two tank brigades did not change much, which meant that the battle of the first line of Japanese troops fell into a stalemate.

Battle retracted his body and picked up the intercom, "Fourth Brigade, Sixth Brigade, why don't you quickly expand the breakthrough and report your situation?"

In the headset, there was a loud movement from Major General Hao Mengting, commander of the Fourth Tank Brigade, "Report to the commander, the little devil is too fucking inhuman, almost all the firepower points and shelters are built in the houses, and the infantry brothers who cooperated with our attack said, there are residents in the houses, and we dare not open fire, we can only gnaw a little bit, my brigade has lost sixteen tanks, commander, we are a rat trap!" ”

Battle frowned and ordered: "The third and sixth brigades, temporarily stop the battle to widen the breakthrough, consolidate the existing positions, and wait for orders!" ”

Then, immediately call the Hong Kong Campaign General Headquarters, "Division commander, I'm Battle, I have an important situation report!" ”

After listening to Battle's report, Tang Qiuli frowned, this is an unexpected situation, whether it is Yu Deshui's intelligence department, or the mountain tigers who infiltrated Hong Kong, they have no detailed information in this regard, they have already expected that the Japanese army in Hong Kong cannot fail to take strict precautions, but they did not expect that the Japanese would take Hong Kong citizens as hostages.

If these factors are not taken into account, then rely on the artillery fire of separate divisions. No matter how tricks the Japanese army played, under the overwhelming shells, they could not support it for even an hour. However, Tang Qiuli couldn't help but be unscrupulous, he had not yet been cold-blooded, so that hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong citizens accompanied tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers to be martyred together, and the battle was fought according to the original way of fighting. Apparently it is no longer possible.

After thinking nervously for a while, Tang Qiuli spoke directly to Battle, "Battle." Change tactics, tank units leave a small number of troops, hold the breakthrough, such a battle. Tanks don't work! ”

And then. He said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, order Tian Shangxi, the troops of the Guangzhou Garrison District, with the strength of a brigade, to be responsible for clearing the Japanese troops on the first position, and remind Tian Shangxi not to rush to take it down." You can divide the encirclement first, and then eat it slowly. The Japanese troops on the outskirts of the New Territories will not have reinforcements, and we and these bastards can afford to spend it! ”

"Order the other troops in the Guangzhou garrison area to continue to attack in depth and advance, and after breaking through a Japanese position, they will all be dealt with in this way, this is the case with the first line of positions, and next, the same difficulties will be encountered, order the troops of the first wave of assault, do not hesitate, break through the outer positions of the Japanese army in one go, clear the task of clearing the remnants of the enemy, and hand it over to the follow-up troops, after they break through the Japanese defensive positions, according to the predetermined plan, quickly interspersed, and completely disrupt the Japanese army's street fighting system!"

Tang Qiuli had the capital to first encircle and then destroy the Japanese troops on the defensive positions on the periphery of Hong Kong, and in this Hong Kong campaign, ten infantry brigades and more than 150,000 troops were mobilized, forming an absolute superiority in strength in that direction.

The order was given to the troops, and Battle ordered: "The 4th and 6th Brigades, each with one regiment of troops, hold the breakthrough, and the rest of the regiments, advance to the depth of the Japanese defense!" ”

The second defensive position of the Japanese army, which also did not withstand the gouging tactics of the armored torrent commanded by Battle, was soon opened two breaches about two kilometers wide, and the troops that had been attacking arrows were like a whirlwind, without the slightest pause, passing through the Japanese positions and rushing towards the third line of Japanese positions, behind which were fierce gunfire and explosions.

Immediately, the troops of a brigade of the Guangzhou garrison area that followed up followed up were divided and encircled, and then slowly gnawed, and the troops deployed by the Japanese army on the front line of the New Territories, totaling more than 20,000 people, were broken through two positions one after another, and more than 13,000 Japanese soldiers were divided and surrounded in two positions, and the battle was still raging, and it was only a matter of time before this part of the Japanese troops was solved!

After the first line of positions was lost, Lieutenant General Poly Gavin, commander of the 37th Division of the Japanese Army and governor of Hong Kong, received a phone call from Major General Emura, commander of the 23rd Brigade of the 23rd Brigade.

It's no wonder that Lieutenant General Poly is angry, from the loss of the first line of positions to now, thirty minutes have passed, and that damn Jiangcun has just called the phone, what is the major general of the Imperial Army who commanded more than 20,000 troops doing in these thirty minutes?

On the other end of the phone, the commander of the Jiangcun Brigade was also angry, and his brigade headquarters was set up on the second line of defense, and when he heard the sound of gunfire coming from the direction of the first line of defense, which was more than ten kilometers away, he immediately called the commander of the forward unit, Wing Commander Takeshita Osa.

But Takeshita Daisa's report was chaotic, and his voice was full of panic: "Your Excellency Brigade Commander, the frontal position of our wing was suddenly attacked by countless tanks of the independent division, and before the troops could react, the tanks of the people of China had already appeared in front of them, and there were tanks everywhere, and all the brigades of our wing were caught in a fierce battle, and the specific battle situation was unknown!" ”

Major General Emura, like Lieutenant General Poly, broke out directly, "Yaga! As a soldier of the Great Japanese Empire, in the face of war, what kind of system did he become in such a panic? In your hands, you have a wing and two brigades of troops, more than 6,000 people, how can you be hit in front of you by the Zhina troops at once? What do you eat at your forward observation post? Didn't you find out the movement of the Chinese troops in advance? ”

A series of reprimands, like shells, smashed into poor Takeshita Daisa, Major General Emura was not satisfied, and was about to continue scolding, when he heard the phone, Takeshita Daisa shouted in a panic: "Your Excellency the brigade commander, the tank of the Chinese people has already driven to the door of our headquarters," and then, there was a fierce gunshot, and then, the phone stopped abruptly, and there was no more movement.

As the supreme commander of the defensive position of the Guangzhou garrison area of the Independent Division, Major General Jiang Cun has the right to mobilize all the troops, and he does not intend to tell Lieutenant General Sù Poly about this matter, and if the first line of positions is lost, he will take responsibility for retaking it again, and immediately organize the troops of the second-line position to counterattack, he picked up the phone, and was just about to give an order, and the tank troops of the Independent Division had already pounced in front of him.

This time, let alone to recapture the front-line position, his own position, immediately fell into a fierce battle, there was no way, he could only report the battle situation to Lieutenant General Poly, as expected, a stinking scolding that split his head and covered his brain, he couldn't run, the official was crushed to death, Major General Emura could only listen, and finally, His Excellency the lieutenant general finished spraying dung.

Major General Emura, who was about to report his plan, a staff officer stumbled in and shouted: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the situation is not good, our position has been broken through by the tank units of the independent division, fierce battles are taking place everywhere, and the enemy forces have surrounded it!" ”

"Hani?" Major General Emura stared at the unbelievable bull's eyes, his face was sluggish, wasn't he having a nightmare, in less than an hour and a half before and after, the two positions held by more than 10,000 imperial troops, like paper, were broken through by the troops of the independent division, how could it be?

However, the increasingly fierce gunfire outside reminded him that this was a ruthless fact, "Your Excellency, Division Commander! Your Excellency, Division Commander! Major General Jiangcun shouted into the phone, however, there was no echo in the telephone receiver, only the sound of "squeak" current, and then, the sound of current was gone, Major General Jiangcun knew in his heart that he could not evacuate here, and the telephone line was cut off by the soldiers of Zhina, which meant that he was surrounded!

Lieutenant General Poly, there is not much time, wasted on the Jiangcun Brigade, more than an hour, the troops of the Independent Division, even broke through the two lines of defense carefully designed by themselves, it is too terrifying, such a terrifying attack force, the third line of defense, can it become the last line, blocking the troops of the devil Tang Qiuli, and breaking through the barrier of the New Territories and the urban area of Kowloon?

The commander of the third line of defense, the commander of the Yokota detachment of the Marine Corps, the commander of the Yokota detachment, the headquarters of Major General Yokota Shintomo, the Yokota detachment, is a brigade and regiment-level organization, with three Marine Corps wings under its jurisdiction, with a strength of more than 7,000 troops.

However, Vice Admiral Poly knew very well in his heart that when he spoke by himself, Rear Admiral Yokota might not be able to listen, they belonged to different systems, and the navy and the army had always been at odds, and when they captured Hong Kong, the navy stepped in and wanted a piece of the pie, and this Yokota detachment was just to check and balance itself and put it on his side; originally, when Vice Admiral Poly deployed Hong Kong's defense, he put the Yokota detachment on the first line of defense in the direction of Guangzhou on the grounds that the marines were strong in combat.

His own intentions can be described as good, that is, to use the navy troops to take the lead, once the troops of the independent division come over, their own troops, can also have a buffer time, but Rear Admiral Yokota, is not an easy guy to deal with, a telegram, directly stabbed the Admiralty, as a result, the base camp General Staff, came to order, not only a violent training, but also clearly pointed out that the navy, in front of the emperor, sued the emperor, saying that he was taking the opportunity to eradicate dissidents.

The conscience of heaven and earth, Lieutenant General Poly is about to die unjustly, after that, that Yokota Shinyou, when he saw himself, was all arrogant, Lieutenant General Poly grabbed the phone and said very politely: "Is it General Yokota, I am the head of the Poly Division, and there is an important enemy report!" ”
